REPORT. 



On the 25th of March, 1846, the following notice appeared in the Na- 
tional Intelligencer, and was extensively circulated by the newspaper 
press throughout the country : 

House of Representatives, March 24, M6. 

With a view to furnish correct information in regard to the charac- 
ter, prices, and extent of American manufactures, as w^ell as to correct 
misrepresentations on that subject, the undersigned respectfully invite 
the artisans, mechanics, and manufacturers of the United States to 
send specimens of their various productions, with their prices, to be 
compared with the British manufactures sent from Manchester, and 
now being exhibited in the room of the *' Committee on Post Offices 
and Post Roads,'' to influence the action of Congress in relation to the 
proposed modification of the tariff.

On a further consideration of the subject, it was thought advisable 
to adopt an enlarged and systematic plan for a general exhibition of the 
products of domestic industry, falling properly under the denomination 
of American manufactures, and the following gentlemen were requested 
to act as a committee to carry out and conduct such an exhibition, viz : 

"William W. Seaton, Washington^ William Easbt, Washington,

4 Report of Committee. 

The committee immediately gave notice by a circular address, of which 
the following is a copy, of the object of their appointment, and invited 
the co-operation of manufacturers therein : 

TEE NATIONAL FAIR. 



CmCULAR 

Of the Committee of Superintendence of the National Exhibition of 
American Manufactures and products of Mechanical Art, 

AT THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, IN MAY, 1846. 



Many persons friendly to the permanency of the present protective 
system, and others, who, without being committed to its support, desire 
information in reference to its effects, have suggested the importance of 
procuring an exhibition of American Manufacturing and Mechanical 
Products, to be made at the seat of government at as early a period, dur- 
ing the present spring, as the opportunities for accomplishing such a 
project might allow. It is believed that an exhibition, embracing speci- 
mens of every kind of handicraft or manufacturing skill employed in the 
nation, or at least all such specimens as may be conveniently procured 
for the occasion, together with the prices at which they may be pur- 
chased, and the names of those by whom they are fabricated, would 
embody, in an impressive form, a mass of useful facts w^hich could not 
fail to be appreciated, as they deserve, by the public authorities upon 
whom rests the responsibility of sustaining the prosperity of the great 
interests connected with this subject ; and that such facts, collected from 
the daily transactions of the people, authenticated by the personal ex- 
aminations of all who choose to inspect them, would furnish incon- 
trovertible arguments in favor of that industry, which so greatly honors 
as well as enriches the mechanics of America. 

A recommendation of a similar exhibition by the National Institute, 
two years ago, met with a high degree of favor from the public at that 
period ; and the success of such an effort now may, it is hoped, lead to 
its regular adoption hereafter, as a means of presenting, at suitable in- 
tervals, a visible demonstration of the advance of the^.country in those 
arts upon which its prosperity so greatly depends. 

At a consultation recently held by many members of the present Con- 
gress — gentlemen of both political parties — the proposition of inviting 
such an exhibition as we have referred to was considered and adopted, 
as an enterprise of eminent utility at this time, and with a confidence 
that it would find a hearty assent from the friends of national industry 
throughout the whole Union. To give efficacy to this proposition they 
have nominated the undersigned as a general comm.ittee ojf superinten- 
dence, and have charged them with the duty of presenting the subject to 
the country at large, of inviting the aid of the friends of national indus- 
try to the scheme, and of making such preparations as may be necessary 
to render the exhibition as full and as effective as the time allowed will 
permit. 



Report of Committee. 5 

Thus summoned to this labor from a source so amply entitled to the 
respect and confidence of the nation, and fully concurring in the impor- 
tance attached to the subject, the undersigned have not hesitated to 
comply with the wishes of those by whom they have been put in requisi- 
tion, and promptly to enter upon the duties consigned to them. In the 
performance of these duties they invoke the earnest co-operation of all 
who may have any thing to contribute to the proposed exhibition, hoping, 
that this invitation will be answered in such a manner as shall enable the 
committee to present such a display of the work of our artizans as shall 
adequately attest the great skill and perfection to which our country has 
attained in manufacturing and mechanical art. 

The committee propose that the exhibition shall be opened at Wash- 
ington, on the 20th day of May, 1846, previous to which date ample 
provision will be made for the reception, security, and suitable disposi- 
tion of all specimens which may be sent to their care. 

They invite the transmission of specimens of every kind of manufac- 
ture and handicraft known to the artizans of the United States, and 
desire that the price, as well as the maker's name, be furnished with 
each article intended for exhibition. Committees will be appointed for 
the superintendence and arrangement and preservation of all parcels 
sent to the exhibition rooms. 

The rooms will be ready to receive articles for exhibition from and 
after the 1st day of May. The exhibition will be kept open not less 
than two weeks. 

Owners of parcels exhibited during the exhibition will, unless direc- 
tions to the contrary be given, be expected to allow the sale of such 
parcels at the prices marked, to be delivered at the close of the exhibi- 
tion. 

All goods intended for exhibition can be directed to Mr. David A. 
Hall, secretary of the committee, who will see to their safe-keeping, and 
attend to their being repacked after the close of the exhibition. 

In case of a sale of them, the money will be duly transmitted. 

As there will be many goods undisposed of which the proprietors may 
not desire to have returned, and prefer to have sold for their benefit, the 
committee will cause a sale at auction of such articles as the owners 
may desire to have so disposed of 

Motive power will be furnished at the exhibition rooms for such 
machinery as may require it. 

As the committee can only give this general invitation to the manu- 
facturers and artizans of the country, each one will be pleased to consider 
it addressed to himself individually. 

Editors of papers throughout the country, friendly to the object, are 
respectfully requested to give this circular a few insertions. 

Signed hy the Committee. 
Washington, D. C, March 28, 1846. 

It was early perceived that no room or building could be had in the 
city of Washington, of sufficient capacity to accommodate the mass of 
articles to be presented. The committee proceeded, therefore, without 
any loss of time, to erect on a public lot, under permission from the city 



6 Report of Committee, 

authorities, a building, 300 feet in direct length, with wings or side 
sections of 100 feet each, making an entire building of 500 feet in 
length, by 60 feet in breadth. It was erected in less than three 
weeks ; and though constructed of rough timber, presented a hand- 
some architectural exterior. 

The roof was covered with thick cotton cloth, rendered impervious to 
water by a coating of paint, and was lined within — both the sides 
and ceilings, with white and colored muslins, so disposed upon the col- 
umns and long ranges of tables, as to add greatly to the beauty of the 
interior of the building. 

The edifice was lighted in the day by numerous sky-lights in the roof, and 
at night by ranges of gas burners, extending the whole length of the 
structure, and by lamps furnished with fine oil. 

The accommodations for the display of goods consisted of fifty-eight 
tables, of sixteen feet in length by six feet in width, and of a continuous 
side table, extending, with slight interruptions, around the entire build- 
ing, and of two sheds running the whole length, outside of the main 
building. 

A steam engine of about twenty horse power, obligingly furnished by 
Col. C apron, from the Laurel Factory, Maryland, was erected on the 
premises, and served to propel the various kinds of machinery presented 
for exhibition. Nothing at the Fair more gratified the enlightened 
curiosity of visitors than the busy machinery thus set in motion. 

.Such were the arrangements which the committee deemed it advisable 
to make, for the reception and display of the various articles of Ameri- 
can manufacture and handicraft art. They were not without apprehen- 
sions that these preparations were on too large a scale for the place and 
occasion; and at times, doubted even whether the magnitude of the 
building would not render more obvious the insignificance of the dis- 
play they should be enabled to make. But these doubts were not of 
long duration. 

About the loth of May, goods began to arrive from various parts of 
the country ; and before the 20th, such an amount had been received, that 
a contrary apprehension was felt, and the committee began to cast 
about to see whether their building could be enlarged, or an additional 
one erected. Their fear then was, that they should not have room 
enough. 

The goods were classified and tastefully arranged on the tables, by 
Mr. Rowland Ellis, of Boston, a man every way qualified, by experience 
and natural capacity, for that duty; and at J 2 o'clock, on the 21st of 
May, under the firing of a National Salute, the American Flag was un- 
furled over the building, and the doors were thrown open. 

The public expectation had been greatly excited, and eager multi- 
tudes thronged the door for admission. 

Cards of invitation w ere, by direction of the committee, addressed to 
the entire body of the members of Congress, to the president of the 
United States, the heads of departments, the resident foreign ministers, 
the clergy and the editorial corps, either resident orJ;emporarily sojourn- 
ing in the city of Washington. 

The Fair was kept open with undiminished interest, from the 21st of 
May till the 3d day of June, and was visited, it is believed, by not less 
than 60,000 persons. 



Report of Committee, 1 

The committee think they may, without arrogance, pronounce this to 
have been the most magnificent and satisfactory display of the products 
of American industry, that has yet been made. In the minuter articles 
of fancy work — articles which contribute greatly to the effect of a public 
display, other exhibitions may have rivalled this ; but in the substantial 
fabrics that minister to the wants of man in every walk of life, which 
attest most truly the progress of manufacturing art, and which are most 
essential to independence of foreign countries, this is believed to stand 
unsurpassed in this country. 

It is with great satisfaction that the committee refer to the various 
sections of the country which, by their productions, were represented 
in this national exhibition. It is no longer the East and the North 
that claim an exclusive knowledge of the mysteries of the spinning- 
jenny, or of the magic speed of the shuttle. The South also asserts 
her progress in these arts, and is enabled to point to her power-looms 
and factories, which weave into cloth the snowy tissue of her lands upon 
the very fields where it is produced. 

It is not the purpose of the committee, in this brief report, or in the 
catalogue which follows, to particularize and discriminate as to the re- 
lative merits of the various articles presented, nor can they, without an 
arrogance which would not fail of its just rebuke, assume to do so ; yet, 
as the impression prevails so generally, that the North alone is the 
manufacturing portion of the country, they would respectfully draw at- 
tention to those articles of southern fabrication which are enumerated 
in their list. 

If the elder looms of Lowell and Waltham produce finer articles, a 
Virginian who takes a pride in the progress of art in his own state, may 
well point to the strong and serviceable fabrics which come from the 
looms of Richmond and Petersburg, and which will compare favorably, 
both in price and style of finish, with those of the like class from the 
North. 

Very creditable samples of cotton cloth from the Rockfish Manufac- 
turing Company of North Carolina, at Fayetteville, were exhibited, and 
a fine style of cotton and woollen goods manufactured by George 
Schley, Esq., of Georgia, intended for the Indian trade, were produced ; 
these, with the samples of iron from Georgia and Virginia, and espe- 
cially of cast steel from the latter state, attest that there is in the mines 
and broad lands of these states, a wealth which, under a wise legisla- 
tion, the labor of their hands may profitably develope. 

The display of cotton goods, both of the fine and more substantial 
articles of printed calicoes and ginghams, was. very ample. The old 
and long established mills of New-England, were fully represented. 
Fabrics of great beauty, from the steam factories -at Lowell, Newbury- 
port and Providence, were much admired ; nor was less attention drawn 
to the fine shirtings from the New-York Mills, near, Utica. Cottons 
from the new steam mills near Philadelphia, and printiBd calicoes from 
the neighborhood of that city, and from a great number of the print 
works in other parts of the country, exhibited a progress in the art, of 
dying and fancy coloring, which leaves foreign artisans little to boast 
in the comparison. 

Of the progress that has been made in the manufacture of the great 



8 Report of Committee, 

staple of this country, a striking proof was exhibited in the production 
of a sample [about six yards,] of cotton muslin, of British manufacture, 
sold in Boston in 1813, at 65 cents a yard, by the bale. The same 
goods would not sell now for more than six cents a yard. Though the 
state of war then existing may account for the very high price of the 
goods at that period, yet every American, who values the prosperity of 
his own country, will rejoice that no such advance in price could take 
place again, from such a cause, though his country were at war with 
all the world. 

In woollen goods the display was equally satisfactory ; in articles of 
iron and steel ; of agricultural implements, fine cutlery and military 
equipments ; of leather in its raw state, in the form of shoes, boots, sad- 
dlery, and harness gear, and in fine, in almost all the departments of 
industry, there was such an exhibition as must have satisfied the most 
skeptical of the ability of our countrymen to manufacture, to the ex- 
tent of the entire wants of the country. 

Not the least gratifying portion of the exhibition was that which con- 
sisted of the operations of spinning by machinery, and of weaving by 
the power-loom. By the aid of the steam engine several looms were 
put in motion. But no machine propelled by this power excited so 
universal admiration as that for setting card teeth, by which, with the 
simple materials of a coil of wire and a strip of leather, cotton cards 
were produced with astonishing rapidity. If intelligence could be in- 
fused into inert matter, it might readily be believed by those who wit- 
nessed the action of this machine, that its inventor was the person to 
realize the miracle. 

The committee submit herewith a list of the articles exhibited, which, 
though not perfect, is as complete as the circumstances under which it 
was taken would allow. It was their hope that the ample notices circu- 
lated through the newspaper press, would have obviated the necessity of 
such a catalogue, and it was not till an advanced period of the Fair that 
it was made. As heretofors intimated, it was not the purpose of the 
committee to discriminate as to the merits of the goods produced; that 
delicate task they could not assume. They aim simply to enumerate the 
articles of which the exhibition was composed, and give the contributors 
the satisfaction of knowing that their own articles helped to swell the 
aggregate so much admired. 

In the hope that this exhibition has served, in some degree, to en- 
lighten the public mind in regard to one of the great interests of the 
country, this report and the accompanying list are respectfully sub- 
mitted by the committee. 

By order, Wm. W. Seaton, Chairman,
